Impact McGowens' status Saturday will likely depend on how his knee is feeling closer to tipoff. With Tre Mann (groin) out, Brandon Miller could see an uptick in his usual minutes should McGowens also get ruled out, while Nick Smith and Vasilije Micic could see some run in the rotation.

Posts strong numbers off bench McGowens ended with 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 120-84 loss to the Bucks.

Impact The Hornets trailed by 28 points at halftime and never made a serious run in the second half, which helps explain why McGowens reached 30 minutes for the first time since mid-December. The second-year pro made the most of the opportunity, matching his season-high marks with 15 points and five boards. McGowens doesn't usually get enough minutes to be a viable fantasy asset, though he's been getting a longer look of late and has scored in double digits in four of his past five games.

Impact McGowens had only recorded one steal since Dec. 19, so Friday is best regarded as an aberration, although his activity defensively is an encouraging sign. The second-year guard from Nebraska has limited turnovers while seeing incremental growth in efficiency across the board this season.

Impact McGowens has been infrequently utilized of late for the Hornets, making two starts in Charlotte's last five games, while also logging up two games where he played just five minutes. No in-game injury was reported for McGowens following Sunday's loss to Miami, which likely indicates that the second-year guard is dealing with a minor injury.

Joins second group Roderick Boone of The Charlotte ObserverMcGowens will come off the bench for Friday's game against the Spurs, Rod Boone reports.

Impact LaMelo Ball (ankle) is making his return to action Friday, and that will push Terry Rozier over to shooting guard where Mcgowens has been filling in. Given how shorthanded the Hornets are, McGowens is likely to be a key contributor for the second unit.

JANUARY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in starting lineup McGowens will start Monday's game against the Bulls, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

Impact McGowens was relegated to a bench role Saturday versus Chicago after starting five straight contests, but with Cody Martin (groin) sidelined, McGowens wil move back into the starting lineup Monday.

Impact With the Hornets shorthanded, McGowens has made five straight starts, averaging 7.6 points, 2.2 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 21.8 minutes. He's made eight total starts this season, averaging 9.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 23.4 minutes. Even with a starting role, McGowens doesn't need to be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

JANUARY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Joins starting five McGowens will join the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Brandon Miller (ankle) will sit out Tuesday's contest, so the Hornets will need Mcgowens to provide some floor spacing. In three previous starts this season, McGowens averaged 13.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.0 three-pointers.

DECEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench McGowens won't start Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact McGowens drew back-to-back starts in Gordon Hayward's (illness) absence, but the latter will return to action Wednesday, sending the former to a bench role. As a reserve this season (17 appearances), McGowens has averaged 4.1 points and 1.8 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per game.

In that pair of games, the second-year guard averaged 13.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers while shooting a combined 9-of-19 from the field. Hayward's status for Wednesday against Indiana is still in the air.

Drops 12 points in spot start McGowens finished Saturday's 135-82 loss to Philadelphia with 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and two rebounds over 24 minutes.

Impact McGowens scored double-digits for just the fourth time this season, sliding into the starting lineup, replacing Gordon Hayward who was ruled out with an illness. The Hornets were never in this one, meaning even the starters were limited. Despite the offensive production, McGowens has no fantasy value outside of very deep formats.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves into starting lineup McGowens is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Gordon Hayward (illness) is being held out Saturday, and the Hornets were already shorthanded before that news dropped.

In his one previous start this season, McGowens had 14 points, three assists, two rebounds, one block and four triples.
